A new voice for Astro?
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2013 12:30 pm
Since I first got on here, I've noticed that there are many who would like to see the 03 series re-dubbed. With not cuts ala Miyazaki, the original score, and a new cast.
As much as I'd like to see that happen however (especially by Funi), it's mostly likely just a dream to be sought after, and will most likely remain one. Still though, there's always new stuff to look forward to with our little hero. Such as potential films, and even (potentially) a new anime series in the near future. And with the possibility of those making their way over to the United States, you're going to need a voice cast.
And in likelihood of that ever happening, I think it's safe to say we all have our own opinions on who should voice which character. Specifically, Astro himself.
That's what I'd like to discuss today;
Who do you think should be Astro's new dub voice?
For me, I have only one choice in mind. And that's Maxey Whitehead.
She is a Funimation regular, who got her start in live theatre. She's only been with Funi for three years now, but already, she has gotten quite a few significant roles. Specifically replacing Aaron Dismuke as Alphonse Elric in FMA Brotherhood. She's also played some other significant roles, such as Crona in Soul Eater, and Czeslaw Meyer in Baccano.
So, yeah, she's played a lot of boyish or dark characters in her tender with Funi. But she has great acting chops, and can deliver emotion well.
That's ultimately my reason for choosing her to be Astro. For the type of character Astro is, you need someone who sounds wide eyed and innocent, but can easily turn around and be serious when called for. Whitehead has all of those, and I think she'd be a great Astro.
But that's just me.
Who would you guys like to see cast as Astro?
